NetBIOS is an acronym for Network Basic Input/Output System. The NetBIOS API allows applications on separate computers to communicate over a local area network. In modern networks, it normally runs over TCP/IP (NBT), giving each computer in the network both a NetBIOS name and an IP address corresponding to a (possibly different) host name. Older operating systems ran NetBIOS over IPX/SPX or IEEE 802.2 (NBF). NetBIOS provides services related to the session layer of the OSI model.







NetBEUI





DEFINITION - NetBEUI (NetBIOS Extended User Interface) is a new, extended version of NetBIOS, the program that lets computers communicate within a local area network. NetBEUI (pronounced net-BOO-ee) formalizes the frame format (or arrangement of information in a data transmission) that was not specified as part of NetBIOS. NetBEUI was developed by IBM for its LAN Manager product and has been adopted by Microsoft for its Windows NT, LAN Manager, and Windows for Workgroups products. Hewlett-Packard and DEC use it in comparable products.



NetBEUI is the best performance choice for communication within a single LAN. Because, like NetBIOS, it does not support the routing of messages to other networks, its interface must be adapted to other protocols such as Internetwork Packet Exchange or TCP/IP. A recommended method is to install both NetBEUI and TCP/IP in each computer and set the server up to use NetBEUI for communication within the LAN and TCP/IP for communication beyond the LAN.

NETBUI is an old protocol for allowing machines to communicate on a local area network. It can only be used within the same subnet. It was used by Microsoft as the standard up to Windows NT 3.11, at the beginning of NT 3.5 the use of external network connections forced the use of tcp/ip, so this became the new standard. It is not good to run NETBUI and TCP/IP on the same network as it causes delays when the machines are trying to determine which protocol to use. To facilitate simplified local browsing in workgroups netbios was introduced. This carried the functions of NETBUI, but ran on top of TCP/IP. This means a local workgroup can browse efficiently but still use the internet. Currently if you try to set up a Vista machine in a workgroup it can have difficulty seeing other machines by name, unless you turn on always use netbios over tcp/ip in the wins section of the advanced tcp/ip properties. On Windows NT or Active Directory Domains, a primary domain controller gives all the machines browsing information, and you can turn this setting off.

NETBIOS is a programming interface that allows I/O requests to be sent to and received from a remote computer and it hides the networking hardware from applications. NETBEUI is NetBIOS extended user interface. A transport protocol designed by microsoft and IBM for the use on small subnets. NETBIOS: basic input and output system.It is a non-routable protocol. NETBEUI:Netbeui is the protocol that is is responsible for data transport.does handle all the frame formatting that is not handled by netbios.

It just the name of your computer on a network... Nothing more nothing less... and it really is just your Computer Name. Net= Network BIOS= Basic Input Output System BEUI= Basic End User Interface (of NetBios) When you connect to a remote system this is the name it uses.
